Which toll category imposes a 10-year cap for all causes of action?

• A. Infant toll
• B. Insane toll
• C. Absence toll
• D. Fraud

Answer: (B)

Tolling due to mental incapacity has a built-in limit: the total time tolled for insanity cannot exceed ten years. This means while a person is insane, the statute of limitations stops running, but that stop cannot stretch beyond a ten-year window in total. That cap is what makes this category the one that imposes a 10-year limit for all causes of action. Other tolls work differently. Infancy toll ends when the individual reaches the age of majority, so there isn’t a fixed ten-year ceiling across all actions. Absence toll extends while the plaintiff is outside the state, but it isn’t tied to a universal ten-year cap. Fraud toll tolls during concealment or until discovery, and its duration depends on the concealment/discovery timeline rather than a strict numeric cap.
